GameBattles has launched their Ghost Recon 2 ladder for XBOX

Ghost Recon 2 is similar to SOCOM, but much better.

The multiplayer improvements below sound promising!

Game Info

Key Improvements:
4 player split screen through system link or through Xbox live. <span style="background-color: #FFFF99">4 people in an apartment with 1 Xbox can now jump onto Xbox live and join a server.</span>

Xbox LIVE 3.0 features
<span style="background-color: #FFFF99">Teams and Competitions features from Xbox Live 3.0 will be included in the game.</span> The competitions are all based on the team unit, and you join and play as a team. We even have a specific team leaderboard so you can see how your team ranks against others out there.

Leaderboard improvements
<span style="background-color: #FFFF99">Our leaderboard system has been greatly expanded, and now works on an ELO system, more like a ladder.</span> Play against someone ranked higher than you, and you can go up in rank. To go along with this, you will be able to see the skill level of other players, and even get an average skill level of a server, so that you can seek out a challenge by playing people tougher than you, or just play with people at your skill level.

Bandwidth improvements
<span style="background-color: #FFFF99">Our engineers focused on improving bandwidth usage of the game to minimize lag</span> and maximize player enjoyment. Networking code has been completely rebuilt, greatly reducing bandwidth overhead. Players will notice a significant improvement in gameplay experience.

White button
The white <span style="background-color: #FFFF99">button no longer needs to be pressed to talk during matches.</span> User mikes are always on unless the server has restricted voice ability. (This is a setting).

Important facts:
-Players have the option to play in first person view or over the shoulder view.
-The server can force everyone to play in first-person view only, or let people play in either view of their choice. <span style="background-color: #FFFF99">-Downloadable content is planned-</span> details will be released at a later date.

I will be all over this one

Adam register clan [AZ] Acurazine when you pick this one up. I'll be buying it the day it comes out.

 

which XM-8 variant will you use?


XM-8 Baseline Carbine


XM8 Carbine with Add-On XM320 Grenade Launcher


Compact Carbine


Sharpshooter Variant


Automatic Rifle



My bet? You'll be all over the XM320 n00b cannon

 

no doubt.

 

No that'll be Ted or

I'll be all over the sharpshooter

 

Too bad they don't have a shotgun variant... Ted would be in heaven

 

I like the second to last screen grab... the one with the apache.

Look how far away that enemy their engaging is!!! That's some RANGE!

 

Smitty better hope they have some sort of anti-tank caliber machine gun that he can run around with while holding down the trigger... blasting away at anything that moves.
